I cannot answer which is the highest flowing, but I have read most arre pretty close. A couple years back Pontiac High Perfomance did a lid shootout and I only remember how much HP the MTI gained(since that is what I have). It yielded 8 RWHP, so I dont think that is bad for $130, but I mostly boght mine for the looks when I go to car cruises.

This is a good way to look at it...basically, the consensus is that all lids are going to perform about the same...just go with whatever one looks the best and/or is the best deal (depending on your priorities)...for the sake of this discussion, I have a TSP smoked-clear lid and I am very happy with it.

I've heard that the clear lids fog up, and get dirty to the point where they're not clear anymore. Is that true? that's why I didn't get one.

MTI

I have a GMHTP and the MTI lid came out the best, but not by much. I love my clear lid though

LawmanSS that is the best looking lid I've seen so far. I want one.
Does anyone else besides TSP make the smoked clear ?

you need to take the whole assembly off as one unit(the stock lid all the way to the bellow) once off you can get at everything easier. i had driven my car a couple hours before i installed the new lid and that helped alot because everything was warm, and came off realitively easy, just wiggle the maf and iat sensor back and forth gently and they will come out, take your time and enjoy your new mods
